Bilingual Children

The brain has to work harder to interpret and use 2 languages, so it may take longer for children to start using either one or both of the languages they're learning.A true language disorders expresses itself in both (or all) of a child's languages. Stopping one of the languages does not improve the child's language.

What Do We Do?

We evaluate bilingual (English-Turkish) and culturally diverse children who are having academic difficulties, We are making the differential diagnosis between a disorder and something else. This "something else" could have a cultural basis, such as a mismatch between demands of school and home or linguistic factors, for example the normal process of second language acquisition.
